Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

I’ve been swooning over this Carolina Herrera dress for weeks. Even though it’s way out of my budget, there’s a tiny piece of me that’s wondering if I really need to pay my mortgage this month. The pleated waistline and bracelet sleeves are so elegant, and the poppy red color is just gorgeous.

Add a great pair of shoes and you’re ready for anything. 

The dress is $2,690 at Nordstrom and comes in sizes 0-18. It also comes in black.
